I've never posted any pictures of my "shacks" so here goes...
This is my mobile setup, I got my Tech license in June so I recently acquired a Yaesu FT-7900R. Both the Yaesu FT-7900R and the GRE PSR-500 are mounted on Mount Guys mounts. For the FT-7900R I took the attachment from the YSK-7800 Separation Kit and "jerry-rigged" it to the snake arm. The 500 uses an almost identical mount to hold the handheld (no jerry-rigging required).
The first and second pictures show the remote head of the FT-7900R and my GRE PSR-500. Both snakes are fastened to the same seat bolt and hold pretty firmly. I then run the remote power for the 7900 from the unit (which is behind my passenger's seat- third picture). At this time (until I install my remote speaker), the audio from the 7900 comes from my back right (not ideal- only temporary). Also, power for my PSR can be supplied via the 12V Aux (cigarrete lighter adapter that I removed for the aesthetics of these photos). The fourth is of my mag mount- again I know this is not ideal. Before anyone goes givin' me crap about the antenna just know that I don't plan on having this vehicle much longer and when I do finally get my next vehicle I've already purchased a Diamond NR72BNMO 2m/70cm dual bander- that I plan on drilling.
